There are so many packages available in the repository, especially since the merger of Core and Extras, that there is no way that every single package could be included on the DVD spin. The DVD spin has packages that were comparable to what was available before the merger to facilitate upgrades.

I installed through yum a package. And it needed a dependancy,
called libcaca. Yum found it to be on fedora repo. I use F7. I wanted
to install it from my F7 install dvd. But i did not find such a
package. So, my question is: Are not the fedora repo and its install dvd
similar package sets?
